Dual labeling fluorescence in situ hybridization using probes for 12p13 (CDKN1B; p27) and centromere 12 as a reference was used to successfully analyze more than 3700 prostate cancers with clinical follow-up data assembled in a tissue microarray format. CDKN1B was selected as a probe because it is located in the center of the deletion, which spans > 10 Mb and includes > 50 genes in 80% of cancers with 12p deletion. Deletion of 12p was found in 13.7% of cancers and included 13.5% heterozygous and 0.2% homozygous deletions. 12p deletion were linked to advanced tumor stage (p < 0.0001), high Gleason grade (p < 0.0001), rapid tumor cell proliferation (p < 0.0001), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0004), and biochemical recurrence (p = 0.0027). Multivariate analysis including pT stage (p < 0.0001), Gleason grade (p < 0.0001), pN status (p = 0.0001), preoperative PSA levels (p = 0.0001), and resection margin status (p = 0.0001) revealed an independent prognostic value of 12p deletion (p = 0.0014). Deletion of 12p was unrelated to the ERG fusion status. Deletion of 12p was only marginally linked to reduced p27 expression, which by itself was unrelated to clinical outcome. This argues against p27 as the key target gene of 12p deletions. In summary, the results of our study demonstrate that 12p deletion is frequent in prostate cancer and provides independent prognostic information. 12p deletion analysis alone, or in combination with other prognostic parameters may thus have clinical utility.

Structural chromosomal rearrangements represent a major 12p deletions and prostate cancer phenotype mechanism for activating and inactivating oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in cancer. In contrast to most 12p deletions were found in 13.7% (514 of 3,757) other malignancies, chromosomal rearrangements only of all prostate cancers, including 13.5% heterozygous and rarely involve copy number gains or amplifications in 0.2% homozygous deletions. The relationship between prostate cancer. With the exception of the TMPRSS2:ERG 12p deletions and tumor phenotype and clinical parameters fusion affecting about 50% of prostate cancers, all other is summarized in Table 1. 12p deletions were significantly individual translocations also occur at very low frequency linked to high Gleason grade (p < 0.0001), advanced tumor (<5%) [4–6]. Many chromosomal deletions, however, stage (p < 0.0001), presence of lymph node metastasis are highly recurrent and occur in > 10% of cancers. The (p = 0.0004), and elevated preoperative PSA values most common deletions include 8p (40–50%), 13q14, (p = 0.0027). 16q22-q24, 6q12-q22, 10q23 (20–30% each), 12p12-p13, 3p13 (15–20% each), and 5q21 (10%) [6–10]. It is not 12p deletion and ERG fusion status fully understood, how these deletions impact prostate 12p deletions were unrelated to ERG fusion status cancer cells and their exact mechanisms of action may irrespective from the method of ERG analysis (p = 0.5626 vary between deleted loci. Very small deletions may for ERG-IHC and p = 0.9790 for ERG-FISH analysis). impact one specific gene. For example deletions at 10q23 Deletions of 12p were found in 14.4% and 16.0% of are typically narrow and are likely to specifically target ERG-negative cancers (according to ERG IHC and FISH PTEN, a gene with tumor suppressive properties, which analysis), and in 13.7% (IHC, p = 0.5626) and 16.0% has been widely studied in prostate cancer [6, 8, 11]. Most (FISH, p = 0.9790) of ERG-positive cancers (Figure 1). other deletions are substantially larger and may include There was no major difference in the relationship between hundreds of genes [6–10]. Even though some of these 12p deletions and tumor phenotype between ERG-positive deletions contain known tumor suppressor genes, such as and ERG-negative cancers. Most associations of 12p the retinoblastoma gene on 13q14, it remains doubtful that deletions and tumor phenotype parameters held also true the loss of large pieces of DNA just serves the purpose in subgroup analyses (Table 1). of affecting just one single gene. The one deletion / one gene hypothesis is also disturbed by the adamant lack of 12p deletion and p27 expression inactivating mutations seen in the retained allele of the best candidate tumor suppressor genes in studies utilizing p27 expression data were available from 2,125 next generation sequencing [4, 5, 12, 13]. patients for whom 12p deletion data were also available. Irrespective of their impact on gene function, several p27 was negative in 16.6%, weak in 34.8%, moderate in deletions have shown a striking prognostic impact in 29.4%, and strong in 19.2% of these cases.

Reduced (negative or weak) p27 expression so far not been analyzed for their potential prognostic was found in 59.7% of 12p deleted and in 50.4% of 12p role. In order to study the prognostic impact of 12p copy undeleted cancers (p = 0.0080; Table 2). number alterations, we analyzed more than 7,000 prostate cancers with clinical follow-up data by fluorescencein situ 12p deletions and clinical outcome hybridization (FISH).

Its yearling weight and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are economically important for the selection of young and proven bulls. In recent decades, the advent of high throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the detection of genomic regions associated with traits of economic interest in different species. In this study, we conducted a weighted single-step genome-wide association study which combines all genotypes, phenotypes and pedigree data in one step (ssGBLUP). It allows for the use of all SNPs simultaneously along with all phenotypes from genotyped and ungenotyped animals. Our results revealed 33 relevant genomic regions related to the traits of interest.

  • Genome-Wide Insights on Gastrointestinal Nematode
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome‑wide insights on gastrointestinal nematode resistance in autochthonous Tunisian sheep A. M. Ahbara1,2, M. Rouatbi3,4, M. Gharbi3,4, M. Rekik1, A. Haile1, B. Rischkowsky1 & J. M. Mwacharo1,5* Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections have negative impacts on animal health, welfare and production. Information from molecular studies can highlight the underlying genetic mechanisms that enhance host resistance to GIN. However, such information often lacks for traditionally managed indigenous livestock. Here, we analysed 600 K single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes of GIN infected and non‑infected traditionally managed autochthonous Tunisian sheep grazing communal natural pastures. Population structure analysis did not fnd genetic diferentiation that is consistent with infection status. However, by contrasting the infected versus non‑infected cohorts using ROH, LR‑GWAS, FST and XP‑EHH, we identifed 35 candidate regions that overlapped between at least two methods. Nineteen regions harboured QTLs for parasite resistance, immune capacity and disease susceptibility and, ten regions harboured QTLs for production (growth) and meat and carcass (fatness and anatomy) traits. The analysis also revealed candidate regions spanning genes enhancing innate immune defence (SLC22A4, SLC22A5, IL‑4, IL‑13), intestinal wound healing/repair (IL‑4, VIL1, CXCR1, CXCR2) and GIN expulsion (IL‑4, IL‑13). Our results suggest that traditionally managed indigenous sheep have evolved multiple strategies that evoke and enhance GIN resistance and developmental stability. They confrm the importance of obtaining information from indigenous sheep to investigate genomic regions of functional signifcance in understanding the architecture of GIN resistance. Small ruminants (sheep and goats) make immense socio-economic and cultural contributions across the globe.

DDX47 is believed to be a siRNA (m): sc-142940, DDX47 shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-96180-SH, DDX47 probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase. RNA helicases are highly conserved shRNA Plasmid (m): sc-142940-SH, DDX47 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: enzymes that utilize the energy derived from NTP hydrolysis to modulate the sc-96180-V and DDX47 shRNA (m) Lentiviral Particles: sc-142940-V.

Besides their role in cell death, BCL-2 proteins have been implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and cellular metabolism.
